Soundboard 9.3 - Everyone should already know about this one. A MUST HAVE without question. -
Audience 7.7 - Pretty decent recording, rather quiet audience this time. The sound rings out clear. My hunch is this may be a vinyl source but it’s been handled properly. Really good for the time. -
Audience 7.1 - Definitely not a hi-fi recording but I can say this, you actually hear not only Roger fine above the din, but also Pete’s backing vocals! Next up is bass and guitars, with drums in the back kind of buried. Still, I just love these 68 shows, before Tommy, and the band is just so jazzed and audiences are too. Historical document well worth hearing. -
Audience 9.3 - Another excellent, clear, bright 75 show with all the dynamics you could want, good punchy drums and bass, clear vocals, crunchy guitars. Lovely! -
Audience 8.9 - Clean and bright, especially nice drum sounds! -
Audience 7.1 - A kind of muddy mix with Roger coming through OK, and the lead guitar is fine. Not the worst 1971 show, which we take whatever we can get as Who fans. -
Audience 8.8 - Once the taper settles in this show sounds fantastic! Clear, decent mix and great atmosphere. A real treat! -
Audience 7.8 (from vinyl source) - Pretty strong if a little bass heavy (good!). Vocals up front, some vinyl noise present – adds a bit of nostalgia to the bootleg! -
Audience 8.4 - Not bad but has a lack of meat to it, and though Pete's guitar sounds more evil here, it's the lack of punch in the bass and drums that detract overall. -
Audience 8.7 - Very good! Much wider stereo sound field with some hall dynamics present, and just a little less definition with Pete in the mix but it's actually got a great live feel to it. Highly enjoyable. -
Soundboard 9.8 - Put down whatever you are doing immediately. This SMOKES! This is the one you do not want to pass up! -
Audience 9.2 - Excellent! Strong if just a tad subdued as far as guitar loudness. -
Audience 9.2 - Hard to imagine someone not absolutely loving this, but there are still a few people who think just because a microphone placed somewhere in the audience was used to capture the sound, it can’t be good.

Audience 6.7 - Really do wish this sounded better but it’s the only known live recording of this wonderful and amazing prog band. Keyboards are more prominent in the mix, followed by drums, then bass. So the important elements are here. When the band is quieter you get much more out of it, that being said, WOW just to even have this is quite special, really. I find more to enjoy from this than to be grumpy about. -
Audience 7.4 to 7.7 - A tape that varies in consistency but man oh man, this is incredible! I don’t care about the limitations of the tape, I can hear everything, at times it gets quite good and clear, there is some phasing at times, sometimes the taper is walking around too but it doesn’t even matter. This is amazing! -
